Chapter 455: Divine Service isn\'t Free
"Your wife Amelie can still be saved. Her spirit is actually sealed in a spirit prison. I\'m a little surprised why she was able to come out that night to meet Elysia. Did she ask for help when the evil spirit was off guard?" Nell tapped her chin. She no longer considered the current problem as a matter of extra care.
"Hahaha! Even the divine will not be able to expel me from this body. This body is already mine and always will be!" The evil spirit shouted with a loud laugh. She was so confident with her claim.
"Th-then!" Arthur\'s expression instantly brightened with happiness.
Nell just ignored the ignorant evil spirit and looked at Arthur. "But, you need to ask the Goddess of Light and Elysia for help. They are capable of annihilating any evil energy or curse, even if it\'s at the divine class."
Hearing that, Arthur\'s eyes widened with excitement that welled up in his heart. He immediately turned to Elysia, but he couldn\'t see the Goddess of Light anywhere.
Because of that, he immediately rushed before Elysia. He put his hand on his chest. "Elysia, I will do anything for you, no matter what request you wish to make as long as it is within reasonable limits. I beg you, please tell your divine master to come here and please save my wife from that evil spirit."
"Ehm, Emperor Arthur, you can make your request directly to my master. Please wait a moment." Elysia took a step back because the Emperor was too close to her.
\'Erm, Sister Elena... Can you come out of the Soul Realm now to help? Look at Emperor Arthur, he is unfortunate enough and his wife has suffered enough.\' Elysia asked in a gentle voice.
\'Sure, anything for you, Ely. But, our service isn\'t free now, hehe...\' Elena chuckled and left the Soul Realm without delay.
She emerged herself in mid-air and walked down as if she was descending a staircase made of light. Glittering light and golden aura surrounded her as if to make it clear that she was a noble Goddess.
"Hum-hm, I\'ve come on my precious disciple\'s call. But, what\'s going on here, hmm? A woman possessed by an evil spirit? But, isn\'t it so dark in here? Let me shed some light on this underground chamber." Elena walked toward Elysia and gave the crystal pyramid a glance. She threw a ball of light into the air that worked like a bright lamp illuminating every corner of the underground hall.
"Yes, as you said, master. The woman sealed in the crystal pyramid is the queen, the wife of Emperor Arthur. Can you help her from the evil spirit\'s shackles?" Elysia played her role as a disciple and spoke in a pleading tone.
"It\'s not impossible as long as you\'re there to help me make sure everything goes smoothly, Ely." Elena folded her arms and stood beside Elysia. She looked at the stunned evil spirit with a neutral gaze.
"The Goddess of Light, Elysia, I beg of you, please destroy that evil spirit and save my wife. Whatever it is, I will do whatever it takes to get your help. Please, I beg of you." Arthur knelt like a knight to the sovereign.
He became a weak and humble individual. Not an Emperor, but a husband desperate to plead the only solution available for his wife\'s safety. It was a profound plea he had never made to anyone other than his Goddess, but the one before him was also a divine being...
"To be honest, it\'s an easy thing. I\'m glad you asked with your utmost respect and sincerity. However, perhaps, we would have helped you for free if it was last week when your wife\'s spirit came to my disciple.
Unfortunately, things are different now. We have just rendered aid to two divine beings and are not in top condition. Are you ready to compensate for what we will do at your own risk? Raise your head, the Emperor of Aeddoterra." Elena spoke in a noble tone without changing her expression in the slightest.
Then, Arthur raised his head to look at the Goddess of Light and Elysia, but he was still kneeling before them.
"Please tell me the risk and the price I need to pay for the safety of my wife, o the Goddess of Light. I\'m ready for everything." Arthur felt a little regret in his heart because he had doubts that day. He couldn\'t do anything because the Goddess of Light seemed exhausted and unwell.
Only a few individuals knew about the truth that Elena and Elysia were only playing a role. Nell and Rhea just rolled their eyes to hear Elena\'s excuse. Even so, they remained silent and just let it be.
"It\'s not me who can determine the risk, but you. The more you compensate for recovering my magic energy, the higher the probability of success. It can even be a 0 percent risk of failure if I\'m at my best. I\'m very generous, but the conditions and circumstances unfavorable to me at the moment." Elena shook her head and pointed her palm at Arthur.
"Understood. I\'ll get everything ready right away." Arthur nodded in understanding. Then, he took out a wooden tablet and wrote something on it.
He sent a first-priority emergency message to two of his confidants. He asked them to bring lots of top-quality resources for magic energy recovery from his treasury.
After all, he needed to make sure the Goddess of Light and Elysia were at their best with enough magical energy to save his wife at 0 percent risk! In other words, a one hundred percent chance of success must be secured and ensured.
\'Sister Elena, are you feeling unwell?\' Elysia suddenly felt worried.
\'No, Ely, I\'m in good health. But, this Emperor needs to pay for every energy we use for our service, okay? We will get tons of high-level resources for you to level up or just recover our drained magic energy. Look, it\'s gone down by probably over a billion in just the past week! We need a lot of resources to recover our magic energy to 4,501 again. Recovering two divine beings from the curse is very expensive.\' Elena raised her complaints and worries with enthusiasm.
\'But, why do you sound so eager to ask for compensation? Aren\'t we just helping Madam Lifa and Rhea for free?\' Elysia breathed a sigh of relief. She felt somewhat astonished at Elena.
\'No, Ely, we can\'t always help others for free or we\'ll just be taken advantage of. Only silly people are willing to help others without getting anything in return while losses are only borne by themselves completely. And, don\'t you remember that we got compensation after helping Lifa and Rhea? We have the Nature Realm as a whole, an Ancient Goddess as an instructor, and a cute protective baby daughter~\' Elena hummed as if singing at the end of her explanation.
\'...\' Elysia was at a loss for words because Elena was right. She glanced at the baby in her arms.
As if understanding the gaze directed at her, Rhea also glanced up to meet Elysia\'s eyes.
Elysia just replied with a smile and gently stroked Rhea\'s head.
Some people who knew the truth still felt a little surprised and astonished that the Goddess of Nature was willing to be treated like a baby by Elysia. And the Goddess of Nature also seemed to be enjoying that very much.
\'Nature Realm, huh... Why did Madam Lifa name her Private Realm with Rhea\'s title?\' Elysia asked in wonder in her mind.
\'Perhaps, it\'s because Lifa made her Private Realm the property of Rhea and herself. It was their shared Private Realm and home.\' Elena answered Elysia\'s confusion with her guess. Then, she muttered as if she was lamenting something. \'Rhea was not endowed with Private Nature, but Lifa couldn\'t enter her Private Realm... It\'s very complex indeed.\'
\'Indeed, no one is perfect, including us. We have many flaws and weaknesses.\' Elysia heaved a subtle sigh to be reminded of that reality once again.
\'En, but, we complement each other. And because of that too, we created our group. Look at them, Ely. You already have some followers, hehe...\' Elena threw a light joke.
\'I\'m not, they\'re all friends. Possible? I\'m not too sure.\' Elysia used her advanced perception to look at everyone in her group.
\'You will know who will stay with you to the end, no matter what road lies ahead.\' Elena gave a piece of wise advice, then she walked closer to the evil spirit after she felt two people rushing over from above. \'Let\'s say hello to that evil spirit, Ely. Now it\'s time for us to get ready there.\'
\'Um, okay.\' Elysia just agreed and glanced at Rhea. "Would you like to come with me?"
"Mm, I\'ll protect you and your master if anything happens, Elysia." Rhea grabbed Elysia\'s dress and nodded.
Obviously, she didn\'t want to be handed over to someone else because of her fundamental reason.
"Alright, thank you very much for your protection." Elysia smiled gently and walked after Elena.
"Hm?" Arthur didn\'t know why the Goddess of Light and Elysia suddenly went toward the crystal pyramid. He immediately stood up and followed them from behind. Honestly speaking, he forgot that Elysia was carrying a divine being too!
\'There are three existences of divine beings. So, my wife will be saved and everything will be well, that\'s for sure, yeah.\' Arthur reassured himself in his mind.
At the same time, Lawrence and Lucas entered the underground hall with the black box in their hands. They immediately rushed toward Arthur without delay because they knew the urgency of the matter.
